2018 Calendar of Primaries

Posted: 02 Jan 2018 05:33 AM PST

2017 brought a number of elections, both regularly scheduled and special, but as we start off 2018, the midterm elections in President Trump's first term are likely to bring even more electoral news. While the election won't be until November 6th, the major parties will both hold nominating contests for various elected positions both federal and state throughout the year. Below, we've compiled a table of when those primary elections will be held, as well as voter registration deadlines. If there's anything inaccurate or omitted, please feel free to contact us to update. We will try to incorporate these deadlines in some of our regularly scheduled discussion threads throughout this year as an additional reminder to users.

Hopefully registering to vote if you haven't done so was on your list of New Years' resolutions!
